“In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.”
― Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies
I can't stop. This was prettier in my head too, R. It's not just zombies who have trouble expressing themselves!

my only complaint in the film is a point they made clear throughout the movie, but never explained at the end.
*SPOILERS* - they constantly spoke of the food source of the zombies being human flesh. but at the end, they never explained what they did to accommodate that, or an alternative to that, during the transition of the corpses back to the living.
i've got a feeling the novel answers this, but i havn't read it.

It's subtle in the movie - remember when he spits out the brain? They start to feel disgusted by human flesh rather than hungry for it as they're coming back to life. In the novel R goes weeks without eating anything and he's fine - he questions whether it really is a necessity or if they just tell themselves it is. I was just seeing the whole thing as one giant metaphor and so didn't care much about the actual science behind it (right from the get go with the whole 'thinking zombies' bit, I threw out all my preconceptions about what I 'know' about zombies in fiction because I realized this was going to be pretty different XP).
That line is from the novel. I can't really remember if it was in the film, but I don't think it was. Quotes like that don't really translate well from novel to film (it's unnecessary anyway, since the film is narrated by R's thoughts but when his character actually tries to speak he's just a bit inarticulate :P). It's actually pretty hilarious in a dark humour-y sort of way.
